Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

That would make the Australian Mudfish the biggest of all, as it has the biggest genome, followed by some other mudfish, then interestingly the humble critically endangered axolotl, a sort of salamander than never loses it's lungs, and is only in the valley of mexico naturally.
